we haven't talked much about foreign policy. this is a key element of american policy in the 20th century was buttressing free independent and hopefully over time democratic nationstates. the one reason i think we have enjoyed, knock on wood a relative period of great piece in the last 50 years internationally is the success of establishing that norm which has cut against wars of territorial aggrandizement and created a more distinct sense of borders in a greater sense of legitimacy around the nation-state. one last point on this people say the nation-state that's war but there's no form of human organization that's not deeply flawed. you go to tribes. tribes are not peaceful. tribal wars are not anything to be taken lightly. very often wars extermination. go higher to the empires, rome only closed gate of the temple to indicate eastward. several years of history and the problem with empires is someone has to rule. someone that the dominant language has to rule in someone with the dominant culture has to roll and all the others

policy may not be at this level are so end that this is much more heavier than the foreign policy agenda if you think that this is more inward looking then outward looking. and so then this plays abe abe role in the tough decision-making do you think that this will be very preventative with what the foreign policy thinking? and so it's a pretty interesting book to pick out this were thinking. and if i understand your question correctly, china's focus is inward and has so many problems and only a few hocks the tea party equivalents of hocks, only a few of them really want to have a foreign policy. and so we have this idea of domestic policy as you put it for at least 30 years or longer. and so we need help from the area outside. and this includes a security environment to force domestically. so it is a little bit of a trick question that you are answering. and so that is part of the domestic issues and this includes other things such as india. the chinese leaders have worked very hard to get american high-tech investment in china. and so the in some sense the outside world talks about it.
